Video playing on firefox on my second monitor appears overexposed, as in, lights are extremely light and darks are extremely dark. I am not sure when this issue began.

I know it is not a calibration issue with my monitor because all other content looks as it normally does. I also know it is specifically an issue with firefox and not web video in general because if I open the same videos on chrome they look as expected. This only happens on my second monitor, if I drag the window to my laptop monitor, it looks normal again.

My current setup is an acer Nitro 5 laptop (i5-10300H, RTX 3050 laptop with game-ready drivers) hooked up to a samsung monitor (I belive 32" odyssey g5? I am not sure) through HDMI.

I've updated my graphics drivers, to no avail. I am going to try reverting the latest update on firefox, though I am unsure if it is related at all, I will update the thread if it corrects the issue. I don't really know what else to try if it fails, I appreciate any suggestions.

Other than the problem being firefox dependant, I suppose it could have to do with a firefox-GPU interaction, as my laptop's integrated monitor is driven by the CPU graphics while the external monitor is driven by the GPU. I don't know how to address this or if it's even possible.

LastPass logs out every time I close the FIrefox desktop browser. This started about a month ago after a Firefox update. This is a real pain, since I open and close my browser all day long. I have tried several suggestions on this forum and nothing has worked so far.

The icons when I watch a video are huge and not in the actual video. It's mostly in YouTube but occasionally other websites will have giant weird icons. I have no idea why it's doing this. My Firefox is up to date, I've scanned for viruses or whatever, I've tried disabling add-ons, I've reset my laptop, and just about everything else. It's not zoomed in or anything. It's not the end of the world and I can deal with it but it's kinda pissing me off. Been going on for about a day now.

I'll link a screenshot.

I recently decided to use YouTube on the FireFox browser, but every time I try to log in it shows me my institutions google log in screen. Meaning I can only sign in with my work/college google account, not my personal one. Is there a way to have it so that it doesn't automatically assume I want to log in with my work/college account?

Firefox is my main browser. I use Network Solutions for web mail. I use their portal to view email, maintain my appointments in their calendar, maintain my contact list, etc. Recently, the calendar function has stopped showing my appointments. When I use MS Edge browser with the NS portal the appointments show up. When I open a private window in Firefox and go to my NS mail account the appointments show up in the calendar. Just not in a public (?) Firefox window. NS tech support sent me to Firefox to resolve this.  ???

I want to know if there is a way to make Firefox fully load a websites content


Like the video shown, this was taken on another browser, the browser used here is Edge, I had to scroll in order for it fully load its contents and on other browsers if there is such an option of loading it'll automatically load all the websites contents without me scrolling at all such as Brave.

Hey All,

I'm an old user of Firefox since the Netscape times. For the last few weeks, Firefox become so slow on all my computers.

I have 2GBps internet connection and

  • a fast PC (i9 11900/64GB/NVMe SSD RAID/3080Ti, Win 11 for Workstations, wired Ethernet@2.5GBps)
  • a once-it-was-fast notebook (i7 8750H+32GB+NVMe SSD, 1660 GTX, Win 11 Pro, wifi 802.11ax >800MBps)
  • and a relatively slow notebook (Ryzen 3 2300 or the like, 4GB, Win 10 x64, wifi 802.11n).
  • All of them have the latest op system, drivers, firmware, etc.

A common scenario:

  • I try to open a webpage in Firefox, nothing happens;
  • I switch to Chrome (or Opera, Edge), open the same page, it opens in 1-2s;
  • I switch back to Firefox that is still at the middle of loading the page;

I can play it on all the 3 equipment, the result is the same: Ff is much slower than any other browser on my PCs.

There is one common app that is present on all the machines: my paid-for security package that I won't turn off. If Firefox has any problem with it (that Chrome, Opera and Edge don't have), Ff must go (with my regrets).

I tried to turn off all the plugins but it didn't help. I don't think it's plugin related as Ff is still so slow w/o any plugin enabled.

If you could give me a hint where to look for the cause that would be great.

Thanks.
